Kanto, Route 1

The five former ninja of Konoha were walking along as they looked around them, "I have to say, while I am missing home, this place is beautiful," Ino said as they all walked around.

Naruto listened to the wild around him as he heard the voices from each and every Pokémon. "It is, and the voices of the Pokémon are loving the forest," he said as the girls looked at him.

"You can hear their voices, and understand them?" Sakura asked him as they walked.

"Yes, thanks to my mother being the goddess of the wild, all animals, be it birds or fish, I can understand them," he told her before he stopped. And it seems my first battle is here," Naruto said as the girls looked forward and saw him looking at a dog like Pokémon.

It was a quadrupedal Pokémon similar in appearance to hyenas and canines. Its body is primarily grey, with a black face, throat, paws, and belly. Its eyes are red with yellow sclerae and a red nose. Its lower jaw has two pointed teeth sticking out. The fur at the base of its tail is rumpled and shaggy. Poochyena has grey paw pads on their three-toed paws.

Hinata raised her arm and scanned it, "Dex Entry 261, Poochyena, the Bite Pokémon; Poochyena is an omnivore - it will eat anything. A distinguishing feature is how large its fangs are compared to its body. This Pokémon tries to intimidate its foes by making the hair on its tail bristle out," The Pokédex told them.

Naruto smiled at them. "So little lady, shall we battle?" he asked the Poochyena, who looked at him.

"Yes, Lord Naruto," She told him as Naruto called out Amaterasu.

The Bite Pokémon ran forward with a mouth full of ice. "Amaterasu, use Dragon Tail to keep her away and then move in with Scratch," the blond said. When Poochyena got close, Amaterasu spun around. On her way around her, the tail started to glow cyan with a pattern of scales before it met Poochyena's head, knocking her away. Amaterasu jumped forward with white glowing claws as she lunged at the dog-like Pokémon.

As the others watched, Sakura did not know she gained a small friend sitting beside her.

They were a quadrupedal, feline Pokémon resembling a lion cub or lynx kitten. Its front half is light blue, while the rear is black. A short tuft of fur is on its head, and smaller tufts are on each cheek. The top tuft is smaller on the female Shinx. It has large, oval ears with yellow, star-shaped markings on the insides, yellow eyes, and a tiny, red nose. A black marking encircles Shinx's neck like a collar, and there are yellow bands above its forepaws. The hind paws are black on the male Shinx and blue on the female. Spiked fur surrounds the base of its long tail, tipped with a yellow star shape.

Poochyena's body gave off a slight green glow before she lunged at Amaterasu, "Use Ember to get her off you, and then use it once more," Naruto called out as the Lizard Pokémon let out small pellets of fire from her mouth that got Poochyena off her before Amaterasu started to pelt Poochyena with small fire pellets once more as Poochyena was being pushed back.

Naruto narrowed his eyes before he pulled out a Pokéball and tossed it at Poochyena, and it sucked her into the ball.

Everyone looked at the ball as it rocked once.

It rocked a second time.

It sounded when it rocked the third time, and Naruto's Pokédex went off: "You have caught this Poochyena. This Poochyena is female with the ability of Quick Feet and the hidden ability of Rattled. This Poochyena has the Tera type of Dark. Turn the dial clockwise to see the moves that Poochyena knows."

"G-g-good jo-job Na-naru-naruto," Hinata said as Naruto picked up the ball.

"Yes, that was a good battle, my lord," Naruto heard in his head to see a Gyarados looking at him.

He looked at him. "Hello, can I help you?" Naruto asked them as Sakura scanned Gyarados.

"Dex Entry 130, Gyarados, the Atrocious Pokémon; A tale is told of a town that angered Gyarados. Before the sun rose the next day, flames utterly consumed the town, leaving no trace behind," The dex said as everyone looked at the Atrocious Pokémon with fight and even Hinata let out a meep as she looked at it.

"Yes, my lord, I would like to join your team. You do not have to battle me, as I wish to join," the Gyarados told Naruto, who nodded and pulled out a second ball. He tossed it over to the Atrocious Pokémon and caught it before using his Rinnegan to get the ball back in his hand.

"You have caught this Gyarados. This Gyarados is male with the ability of Intimidate and the hidden ability of Moxie. This Gyarados has the Tera type of water. Turn the dial clockwise to see the moves that Gyaradoes knows," The synthetic voice of Artemis said.

Sakura looked down, saw the Pokémon beside her, and scanned it, "Dex Entry 403, Shinx, the Flash Pokémon; This Pokémon generates electricity by contracting its muscles. Excited trembling is a sign that Shinx is generating a tremendous amount of electricity," Her dex said as Sakura looked down.

"Do you want to battle?" She asked, but Shinx shook his head.

"I wish to join you," He told her as she looked at Naruto.

"He said that wants to join you," Naruto told her as Sakura nodded, pulled out a ball tap, ped it on Shix's head, and caught it.

"You have caught this Shix. This Shinx is male with the ability of Intimidate and the hidden ability of Guts. This Shix has the Tera type of Electric. Turn the dial clockwise to see the moves that Shinx knows," The synthetic voice of Artemis said.

Ino looked at Sakura, who was healing Poochyena, whom Naruto had named Diana after his mother's Roman form. Then she started to look around to see if there were any more. She saw what she was after and went after the one she wanted.

"I'll go after her," Tenten said as she followed Ino into the forest.

Land of Fire, Konoha, Hokage Building, Hokage's Office

Tsunade sat behind her desk. She looked at the three elders, who were displeased with her. "What can I do for you, three fossils?" she asked them.

"Why did you put a bounty on Sasuke Uchiha?" Koharu asked as she scowled at Tsunade, who raised a brow.

"He is a rouge ninja of Konoha hand who went voluntarily to join Orochimaru, an S-Rank ninja, and the reason why the Sandaime Hokage, your former teammate, is now dead," she told them, as they did not like that answer. And if you're talking about the thing with Itachi, I already messaged him and declared that you three did all of what his brother had become, and he wants your death," Tsunade told them as the three started to pale.

"You sold us out to him," Hamura said as he started to back away before he bumped into someone.

And when he looked, he saw the pissed-off look of Itachi, "She did, and it was time to be rid of some dying leaves to fall for new ones to bloom," He said before he killed Hamura and Koharu before he turned to Danzo.

Before the man could do anything, Itachi cut the man's arm off and then pulled something out of the man's head.

It was a Sharingan eye, "Shisui, I did it; I avenged you," Itachi said. As she looked at Itachi, Tsunade said nothing, signalling for the bodies to be removed.

"What do you plan to do now?" She asked him as Itachi let out a sigh.

"I don't know," Itachi said as he sat on a chair. Are you sure Sasuke left of his own volition?" he asked as Tsunade nodded at him.

"Yes, the Anbu recording showed him leave the cell he was in and then left Konoha with Kabuto and Orochimaru's ninja," Tsunade told the teen, who sighed.

"I'll kill Orochimaru and wipe out Oto," Itachi said as Tsunade raised a brow. Then, I'll kill Sasuke, as that will be the one way to clear the Uchiha clan, and then I'll stage my death simultaneously, making it look like we killed each other," he said as Tsunade nodded at him.

"Or you could do something useful," Artemis said as she appeared in the office.

"And that is?" He asked her.

"The mission that you have given yourself, do that compleat it, and when it is done I shall send you to where my son is and you can live their if you so wish," Artemis said as Itachi looked amazed before he looked down.

"I do not think that I am worthy of that," He told her as Artemis nodded at him.

"True, Itachi Uchiha, the man who killed all of his clan's men, does not deserve to go," Artemis said before she smiled. "But, when you are finished, I shall change your gender to that of a woman, and with the name Izumi Uchiha, you can atone," she told him as Itachi smiled at the goddess.

"I acsept," He said with a bow before leaving the office.

"Was that a good idea?" Tsunade asked her as Artemis nodded at the blond.

"I am, and he will know what to do when he goes there," Artemis said before she turned to look at Tsunade. And know, I do not blame you or the perv for what happened to my son," the goddess of the moon said as she turned to the godly realm.

Kanto, Route 1

Naruto looked off into the sky as he saw the sun starting to get low.

"Let's set up camp," He called out as the girls looked to where he was looking and saw the same thing, so Harry pulled out the capsule that held their home away from home.

He pressed the capsule in and threw it, and as it landed, a large puff of smoke covered the building.

When the smoke was blown away, it showed a building made of decorative concrete that followed an unusual concave curve.

The lower front section, which had flowing water ducts and decorative foliage on either side, followed a convex curve and was split in half by the stairs leading up to the main entrance door. On the left of the stairway was a wheelchair-accessible ramp.

The tinted door featured the design of the deathly hallow with light rays spawning from its centre. Decorative symbols of the Pokémon types were engraved around the door, and a relief of a Pokéball symbol was at the top of the door.

Six tall black tinted windows, three on either side, spanned the building's facade, and the top had three thatched, tiki-hut-styled roofs with a larger one in the centre to house the main entrance and the top also had guard rails, apparently for use as some observation deck.

On the side of the door was an hourglass symbol, and Naruto walked over to look before seeing that he could use his Pokédex to turn it back to the capsule.

The girls looked at the door, and then all five of them walked into the building. They saw that it was the same as their home in Pallet Town, but instead, the Ichibi had a fountain. The five animals on their doors were around the top, sending out sprays of water into the bowl.

"Who's going to cook? As I speak for myself and say I can't cook to save my life," Tenten said Ino nodded.

"Same," She said as she looked at Hinata, Naruto, and Sakura.

"I-i-i do-don't mi-mi-mind cooking," Hinata said as she walked into the kitchen with Naruto joining them and started to help them out.
